Let me confess something here. If I told you I'd seen more than 2 episodes of Smallville, I'd probably be lying. And those were from the first season, back when it looked like, every week, kryptonite would infect someone and give them mutant powers, inspiring Clark Kent to heroic deeds. Bo Duke was his dad. Pete Ross was black. And Luthor had been split into two, his young bald self, and his curly-haired clone body from the comics played his dad. And that is truthfully all I remember from the show. Michael Rosenbaum's Luthor had an interesting and ambiguous role in the series, but I was never too sure when the show aired on whatever Canadian station (we don't get the WB), and the set-up didn't particularly grab me. So by the time reports of Clark meeting every other Justice Leaguer in their teens came out (and then the JSA, the Legion, etc.), I was too far behind to even contemplate checking it out. And the underwhelming response to the series finale didn't send my scurrying to the store to get some kind of 10-season mega-set (is it me, or is 10 seasons for a drama too damn long?).So it's up to you, gentle reader, to change my mind or confirm it. How did you find Tom Welling in the role? Did the series become really cool? Or was it Twilight with superheroes, a Team Clark and a Team Oliver/Lex/Arthur/Bruce? I want to hear from all the Reigndrops out there.
